I bought an RV-4 a few months ago. I love nearly everything about it right down to the lettering. Now i am stuck trying to find the exact same lettering. Can anyone tell me where to find the white letters that around 1/8 to 1/4 inch in this picture?

Im close to installing a Nav 122 and need to rename a circuit breaker.

Thanks

Todd

looks like Arial Bold font?

I had Stein make up a sheet of wet transfer decals - sent him my Word document in Arial Bold, asked for white decals for my dark panel. Recall $25 per sheet - had multiple copies of the lettering made so I have on hand if need to redo anything.

Coated with mutiple coats of a matte spray from Home depot, sanding after every few coats, eventually brings to same level

Check with Aerographics.com. I've used them for many years with great results.

I went the SteinAir route as well. Easy, and great results. The water-slide application give you plenty of time to do the final positioning.

Steins printer that is able to do white lettering on water slide decals is broken and there is no plan to fix it due to the cost involved, so if that's what you want, you will have to go elsewhere.

He is getting set up to do laser engraving of panels in the near future but not quite there yet.

Arial Rounded MT Bold.

I had a set of custom dry-transfer decals made for all my lettering. The best part is that I could draw them in the same CAD program I used to design the panel. Rather than having to apply a separate decal for each switch/word/group of words, I could apply them in sections. For example, my CB panel labels were all applied at the same time and aligned with the water-jet cut holes perfectly.

This is what the label sheet looks like:

WingsOnWheels,

Who did you go to make the decals?

That's one of the best panels I've ever seen! And I've seen a lot.
